The MTV reality star arrived at a federal court in Newark, New Jersey around 11 a.m. EST alongside his fiancée, Lauren Pesce.

His Jersey Shore co-stars—Jenni "JWoww" Farley, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Deena Nicole Cortese, Vinny Guadagnino, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Paul "Pauly D" DelVecchio and Angelina Pivarnick joined him outside the courthouse in a show of solidarity. It's unclear whether or not the moment was filmed by MTV cameras.

Prior to the sentencing, Sorrentino's attorneys argued the TV personality should receive probation after pleading guilty to one count of tax evasion earlier this year. Prosecutors, however, were seeking a prison sentence of 14 months, according to a memo obtained by the Associated Press.
